Well here's what I do. Roll the printer out via gpo. You can use the hp universal print driver. It usually does the job. Then go on the printer and configure scan to email and/or scan to network folder. For my users that scan a lot such as accounting, i give them a folder to scan to. By time they're back to their desk they have their scans.

Which HP machine? If you have a Pro level product you will likely want push out the HP desktop scanning software. If you have an Enterprise product then either configure scan to folder to users home directory and either force users to authenticate at the machine when they scan or use a fixed generic credentials and create scan shortcuts for each user. HP also offers a TWAIN driver for their Enterprise machines.

about HP’s Enterprise Environment printer software installation. The document

Creating a Small Release Image
This section describes how to remove files from the release image. The
instructions are to copy the batch file below (see
document above) to your system. Open a command prompt to the directory
containing the image that you would like to customize, and then run the
batch file from that directory. The batch file will ask a few questions, and then delete any files that are not
necessary. See the section CD Image File Descriptions for a description of
each file, if you would like to customize the CD image without using the
batch file.

Enterprise or Full Install
By default, the MSI will install all of the software that is available. A
minimum set of software and drivers has been selected for deployment in
Enterprise environments. To enable the minimum software solution, set the ENTERPRISE
property to “YES” during the install. For example, if using msiexec.exe:msiexec.exe /i O8710x64.msi /qn ENTERPRISE=YES

Features Included during Enterprise Install
The following is a list of the features included when the ENTERPRISE property
is set to “YES” during install:
• Drivers (Print, Scan, Fax)
• Device Setup / USB Setup
• Status (this depends on the STATUS flag)
• Device Update
• Instance Finder
• Uninstall Shortcuts
• Product Support URLs
• Scan Application (if device has a scanner)

Fax
By default, the Fax driver (to support print-to-fax) will be installed.
To turn off this feature (and instead install a small driver that will not
create a fax printer), set the FAX property to “NO” during the install. For
example, if using msiexec.exe:msiexec.exe /i O8710x64.msi /qn ENTERPRISE=YES FAX=NO
